What Is a Cantilever Dental Bridge? • A cantilever dental bridge is a type of bridge that is supported by a single adjacent tooth instead of two. • Unlike traditional bridges, it does not require support on both sides of the missing tooth. • Often used in areas with less bite pressure, such as the front teeth.

  4. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages: • Requires fewer supporting teeth • Less invasive than traditional bridges • Faster procedure compared to implants Disadvantages: • Less stable than traditional bridges • Can place extra stress on the supporting tooth • Not ideal for molars or high-pressure areas
